This is the third edition of the FREEGenealogy Newsline. It is an outgrowth of the Family Roots Publishing newsletter, and the Everton Newsline, which I once edited for Everton Publishers. The Genealogy Newsline has been in the planning for about six months, and with the start of the new year, I felt now was the time to launch. If you should get more than one newsletter, chances are we have more than one active email account in our database for you. My advice is to just scroll to the bottom of the duplicate newsletter, and click on “Unsubscribe.” That will get rid of the duplicate newsletter.

PARTLY PERSONAL

I’m afraid I just learned a few harsh realities. One of them being that producing this Genealogy Newsline while already working a 60-hour week can be taxing – if not impossible. Since the last Newsline, we exhibited at the Arizona Family History Expo in Mesa (scratch 7 days), worked several days doing nothing but paperwork for federal and state governments (that is called end-of-January paperwork), shipped a couple hundred orders, placed purchase orders with a dozen companies, paid bills, did all kinds of conference-related paperwork, produced the daily GenealogyBlog.com, dealt with severe weather, fought with an accounting system that doesn’t want to do reports as I need them, hired employees, and dozens of other things. Beside that, I had to take some time to play with the grandchildren! In the process, I’m a week later than I’d planned getting this Newsline out. I’m thinking that the new employees, and the streamlining of operations will make the next Newslines easier to get out, but I have an idea there will still be challenges. Have patience, please. We will get there.

Those of you who have known me for a long while may remember my executive secretary, Hazel Mills, who went to work at Heritage Quest in 1987. Hazel scheduled all my Road Shows, and did all the paperwork, and interaction with attendees for the Salt Lake Christmas Tour. Hazel had a stroke this last week, was in the hospital in Puyallup, Washington for several days and has now moved to a rehab facility in Tacoma. I don’t know the address yet, but will pass it along when I get it. My niece, Christina Meitzler, got Hazel into the rehab facility, and is keeping me posted on what’s happening. I understand that Hazel has lost movement on one side of her body – don’t know which at this time. Your prayers for Hazel would be appreciated.

IOWA 1885 STATE CENSUS INDEX POSTED AT FAMILYSEARCH.ORG

I see that an index to the 1885 Iowa State Census is now available for research at FamilySearch.org. It is from the State Historical Society of Iowa, and indexes 95 rolls of FHL microfilm. The census is made up of 503,573 records. A couple weeks ago, I featured State Censuses at FamilySearch, but this one wasn’t posted yet. Although it’s just an index, it is invaluable if you’ve got folks in Iowa in 1885. I did a search on the surname of Hinchey and got back results from two families. Click here to see the index page for John Hinchey.

One of the records types found at FamilySearch.org that is growing rapidly are digital images and indexes for marriages found in county and state records of the United States. Since I have a lot of New York ancestry, I was pleased to see that additions have been made to the New York Marriage Records, 1908-1935 database this last week.

The New York Marriages 1908-1935 database currently covers the counties of Broome, Cattaraugus, Chemung, Delaware, Fulton, Jefferson, Monroe, Niagara, Oneida, Ontario, Orange, Oswego, Putnam, St. Lawrence, Tioga, and Warren. There are 22,264 images currently available on the site, with 157,260 records currently both digitized and indexed. Marriage records will often have several records and names per image, thus the spread between images and records. Please note that the collection does not include New York City, nor its boroughs.

As I mentioned above, FamilySearch.org has posted numerous marriage databases for the United States. Following are links to 53 databases with records for 43 states that you may find of interest, Due to privacy laws, recent records may not be displayed. The year range represents most of the records, while a few records may be earlier or later. In most cases, the records may be researched using microfilm found at the Family History Library and Family History Centers. Note that in a number of cases I have stated that the number of records was AFTER a specific date. I did this when I found that more records were within the database than I found listed with that date. I’m guessing that this occurs when records are added, but the Collection List Page itself doesn’t get updated.

Massachusetts Marriages 1841-1915 – Name index and images of Massachusetts statewide marriage registers. The marriage registers are in numbered volumes arranged by year then by individual town. – 1,538,139 records as of 28 December, 2010.

Michigan Marriages 1868-1925 – Name index and images of marriages recorded in the State of Michigan. In some instances, marriages were celebrated and recorded in a county different from the county where the marriage license was issued. – 1,533,863 records as of 5 May, 2010.

New York County Marriages 1908-1935 – Name index and images of New York county marriage records. The collection includes the following counties: Broome, Cattaraugus, Chemung, Delaware, Fulton, Jefferson, Monroe, Niagara, Oneida, Ontario, Orange, Oswego, Putnam, St. Lawrence, Tioga, and Warren. The collection does not include New York City nor its boroughs. – 157,260 images as of 26 January, 2011.

Pennsylvania, Philadelphia Marriage Indexes 1885-1951 – Marriage indexes (imaged) are arranged by the names of brides and grooms with the year of the marriage and the license number. The surname of the spouse is shown in parentheses. Use the license numbers listed in this index to find copies of the marriage license records. Marriage license records for years 1885-1915 are available on microfilm at the Family History Library and Family History Centers. Marriage license records for years 1916-1951 are available at the City Hall in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. – 1,830,468 records on 25,981 images as of 29 March, 2010.

Washington State County Marriages 1858-1950 – Name index and images of the marriage records for Lewis, Wahkiakum, Thurston and Pacific Counties. This collection of marriage records includes: Lewis County marriage returns, 1914-1948; Wahkiakum County marriage certificates, 1907-1939; Thurston County marriage certificates, 1927-1950; and Pacific County marriage certificates, 1878-1947. The records are arranged chronologically. From the Washington State Archives – 48,385 records on 42,746 images as of 26 March, 2010.

West Virginia Marriages 1853-1970 – Name index (and images offsite) of West Virginia county marriage records. Data is searchable for all counties. However, records within each county may not be available for the full year range. You may need to click on the link to wvculture website to see the image itself. In most cases you’ll be able to click right through for a FREE image, although the site says that fees may apply. – 1,504,135 records as of 29 April, 2010.

THE SALT LAKE CHRISTMAS TOUR

The Salt Lake Christmas Tour is known for having the highest ratio of consulting professional genealogists per attendee of any research tour to the Family History Library. Over 20 classes are offered during the week, as well as 6 days of professionally assisted research. Thomas MacEntee will also be leading hands-on online workshops throughout the week. Join us for the 27th annual Salt Lake Christmas Tour – December 4 through 10, 2011. See: http://www.SaltLakeChristmasTour.com

While I understand that the webinar is already oversold, with over 2000 people now signed up to attend, registration is still open. I’m told that based on past experience, it takes about 1800 registrations to fill the 1000 attendee classes. However, I’m also told that this webinar is setting new records for registrations, and we’re getting into uncharted territory. So I guess my advice is show up early if you want to get in the on live program, or if you can’t get in, come back the next day for the recorded session.

==================================================

BOOK REVIEWS & ANNOUNCEMENTS

In this edition of the Genealogy Newsline, I am reviewing one old book, one book that is about to go out of print, three recent titles compiled by a Fuller family historian, and a series of books that now stands at 36 in number. The first volume is one that I’ve recommended for about 20 years. The second has been in print since 2004, and is about sold out. The third, fourth, and fifth were published in 2008. The series is one of which I can proudly say that I am the publisher, started in 2004, and still in process. I personally use all these volumes in my own research.

This 317 page volume is a guide to preserving oral history. Although Fletcher wrote the book with video and audio recording in mind, the same methods apply to all types of digital recording today. Fletcher has designed a program that will allow you or anyone in your family to be a capable life history interviewer. Tips on interview techniques plus hundreds of useful family tree topics and questions. . . all in a practical, easy-to-use handbook that will help any reader/historian develop a comprehensive record of one’s life, or the saga of several generations. In a recent review for another similar book., Judith P. Reid of the Library of Congress said, “the best available work is William Fletcher’s Recording Your Family History,” which confirms that there are those who know still think this is the best available book on recording your family history.

The Following Chapters are listed in the Table of Contents

Introduction

Family History

Childhood

Middle Age

Old Age

Narrator as Parent

Grandchildren

Historical Events

General Questions, Unusual Life Experiences, and Personal Philosophy and Values

Special Question for Jewish Narrators

Further Reading

Index

All the above chapters are broken down into sections with all kinds of questions listed for each section. It doesn’t get any better than this if you’re looking for a book to help with interviewing a relative, or recording (writing?) your own personal history. This 317 page book is only $9.95 – or better yet, FREE with the purchase of $25 or more in books at the Family Roots Publishing Co. website until Wednesday Midnight EST February 9, 2011. Nearly 1000 genealogy books are available at the site. To take advantage of the offer, enter the word RECORDING in the ORDER NOTES box at checkout, along with an order of $25 or more (any applicable shipping & taxes not included – United States delivery orders only) Sorry – this FREE book offer is not available for shipment outside of the United States. Postage costs are just too high. The FREE book is also shipped FREE with the above offer.

John Fuller – 17th Century Immigrant from Baltimore, Maryland, by John Beattie Fuller

This 598 page perfect-bound soft cover book notes several possible immigrant John Fullers, attempting to identify in a two-page introduction specifically which John Fuller arrived in a southern colony as an immigrant. This John Fuller was the progenitor of a Fuller family line which over time became perhaps the second largest southern Fuller family to be recorded. The author goes on to identify the descendants of John Fuller who was born abt 1651 in Maryland, and died before 6 March 1699/00 in Baltimore County, Maryland. He married Hester Enlows abt 1677 in Baltimore Co., Maryland, daughter of Hendrick Enlows and Christina Wright. She was born abt 1660 in Baltimore County, Maryland, and died November 1720 in Maryland? The volume identifies descendants through the 10th generation, with family spread coast-to-coast in the United States over 300 years. The book is complete with an every-name index to all persons listed within the volume. Cost is $26, which includes postage. 2008; 5.5×8; Perfect-bound; For more information, or to purchase, contact the author, John Beattie Fuller, Fuller Genealogy Data Bank, 24609 Alligator Rd., Astor, Florida 32102.

This 288 page volume contains a twenty-one page introduction regarding the early foundation of the state of Maryland with specific emphasis on Captain William Fuller’s arrival in Maryland and his role as a governor in 1655. The book also addresses his relocation to South Carolina and his family establishment in the Charleston area. His genealogical (colonial) family is covered in 13 generations. It is the opinion of the author that Captain William Fuller is one of, if not, the most interesting Fuller family members in the colonial south.

Each Fuller family head appears in column form followed by the census year, state, county, census schedule, roll number, and page number. One can use this data to find specific Fuller families. This volume is most helpful in tracking a specific Fuller family who may have relocated from one census year to another.

Map Guide to German Parish Registers – a Series – by Kevan M. Hansen

Written in English by Kevan Hansen, the Map Guide to German Parish Registers series is principally written to help family historians resolve where their family may have gone to church in the old country – and left vital records behind that may be seen today. The series is still in production. In many cases, even the smallest places are listed in volumes – some with as little population as one person! These places are as of about 1870. If the place existed prior to that date, it will most likely be listed. If the place was named after that date, the chances drop. Volumes dealing with Alsace-Lorraine are an obvious exception to that rule.

Each volumes of the series does the following:

Identifies the parish where an ancestor worshipped based on where they lived.

Gives the Family History Library microfilm number for the family’s parish records.

Identifies nearly every city, town, and place that included residents.

Visually identifies church parishes for Lutherans & Catholics in each district.

Aids in area searches, particularly across district or regional borders.

Provides visual identification of search areas in which to look for a family.

Helps in determining proximity of one area to another.

Aids in determining reasonable distances of travel from one area to another.

Identifies population centers in each parish.

Identifies archives, repositories, and other resources.

Aids in identification of the location of minority religions.

The series is now at 36 volumes, published in both soft and hard cover bindings. All 36 books are in print, with another 18 expected before the series comes to an end, when it will cover all of Germany.

To find out which of the above volumes your town may be in, just type the town name into the search engine on the left-hand side of any page of the Family Roots Publishing Company website. If the name includes diacritical marks (like an umlaut), be sure and include them. You may also find your town by scrolling through the listing of places found within each book, if you know about where the family lived.

Books on the following areas are in process and have yet to be published:

Alsace-Lorraine (the last two volumes – covering Lorraine (Lothringen) in two books.

THE GERMAN RESEARCH COMPANION, by Shirley Riemers, Roger P. Minert, and Jennifer A. Anderson

Shirley Riemer’s classic book, The German Research Companion is now in it’s Third Edition. The book has always been the best place to look for sources of German research information, but this new edition is by far the most useful ever published. The page count is up to 706 pages, but the price hasn’t gone up even a penny! As the cover says, the book is Revised, Updated and Expanded.

STO LAT: A MODERN GUIDE TO POLISH GENEALOGY, by Cecile Wendt Jensen

Family Roots Publishing is now offering this wonderful new title written by Ceil Jensen. The volume is a lavishly illustrated workbook titled Sto Lat: A Modern Guide to Polish Genealogy which offers a plan for researching at least one hundred years of family records, and is a compilation of Ms. Jensen’s techniques developed over thirty years of research and teaching. Both traditional and digital research methods are presented. Common research questions are answered and suggestions are offered to help novice and advanced researchers find ancestors in both North America and Poland.
